Manny Pacquiao seemed set for a rematch against Floyd Mayweather after easily dispatching Adrien Broner on Saturday, but those plans might have to be put on hold, potentially for good.

Some in the 40-year-old Pacquiao’s camp fear that the boxer might have suffered a detached retina after he complained of pain and vision loss in his left eye on Sunday morning, according to the New York Daily News’ Wallace Matthews. Pacquiao is reportedly scheduled to fly home to the Philippines to see an eye specialist.

Matthews also reported a different source in Pacquiao’s camp claimed the injury was a minor corneal scratch from the tape on Broner’s gloves.

If Pacquiao is indeed diagnosed with a detached retina, it would likely derail not just a potential future matchup against Mayweather, but Pacquiao’s entire boxing career.

This development is shocking given that Pacquiao seemed to have no trouble dispatching Broner, no matter what his opponent claimed after the fight. The win improved the Filipino senator’s boxing record to 61-7-2 and showed that he still had a little left in the tank.

As if the development of a potentially serious eye injury wasn’t enough, Pacquiao also reportedly discovered that a safe in his Los Angeles home containing thousands in cash and jewelry had been plundered. Police responded to an apparent break-in Saturday night when they noticed the door was left open during the fight, the house having been left empty by Pacquiao’s entourage.

An explosive report from PhillyVoice citing unnamed sources, including more than a half-dozen players, suggests that quarterback was a source of discord in the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room this season and served to disrupt the team's offence and new offensive coordinator Mike Groh.

¬ď¬ís biggest enemy is ,¬Ē a source told Joseph Santoliquito. ¬ďHe¬ís had his ass kissed his whole life, and sometimes acts like he¬ís won 10 Super Bowls, when he hasn¬ít played in, let alone won, a playoff game yet. Everyone around him wants good things for him. He did more thinking on the field than he did playing (in 2018). You don¬ít have to be a brain surgeon or a football expert to see how differently this team plays and reacts with one guy as opposed to the other."

The second overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State, Wentz experienced a significant injury for a second consecutive season that forced the Eagles to turn to backup . Wentz was shutdown with a back injury during Week 16 after having missed the first two games of the season recuperating from the ACL tear that prematurely ended his 2017 campaign. In both cases, Foles excelled in Wentz's absence, leading the Eagles to a first-ever Super Bowl victory last year and a 4-1 record this season, as well as a win over the favoured Chicago Bears in the NFC wild-card round.

With offensive coordinator Frank Reich leaving the team to become the Indianapolis Colts' head coach and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo taking the OC role with the Minnesota Vikings, the offence struggled under Groh, who was promoted from wide receivers coach. Sources tell Santoloquito that Wentz "bullied" Groh and any issues with the offence should "lie with Wentz." While Foles is "universally loved" by his teammates, Wentz, though "incredibly hard working," is seen as "egotistical" and "not a team guy." It was Wentz who "complicated" the offence and was the type of person who could "complicate 2+2."

With head coach Doug Pederson announcing last week that Wentz would once again be his starter going forward, a source told Santoliquito that the 26-year-old Raleigh, NC native needs to go back to what made him successful in the first place.

¬ďHe has to return to who ¬Ď¬í is," the source said. "That comes with relaxing and not forcing things. It also comes with being able to take constructive criticism. He has to learn that it¬ís not always about him and that¬ís partly what hurt this team this year. We know what type of player he can be, and who he normally is. He needs to realize it¬ís the Philadelphia Eagles not the Philadelphia Carsons."

Reading through this Carson Wentz thing and as a leader on this team none of that is true Carson is a great teammate and great player we are all behind him 100% he√Ę¬Ä¬ôs our guy and will come back and prove the world wrong. If you got a problem feel free to @ me I√Ę¬Ä¬ôll respond

Don√Ę¬Ä¬ôt believe everything you read!!! Carson has been nothing but a GREAT person, GREAT teammate and GREAT leader since Day 1. Our locker room stands behind him all the way. We can√Ę¬Ä¬ôt wait to get back to work and be the best team we can be in 2019! #FlyEaglesFly

Raiders to play the Bears in London during the 2019 season, NFL announced. This will be a √Ę¬Ä¬úhome√Ę¬Ä¬Ě game for the franchise (as required for a relocating club) and its second straight year in London.

UFC president Dana White may have lauded Joanne Calderwood’s one-sided win over former KSW champion and promotional newcomer, Ariane Lipski, in the wake of UFC Brooklyn, but concluded Jessica Eye will be Valentina Shevchenko’s first assignment as flyweight champion.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, White praised Calderwood’s third win in as many tests in the 125-pound bracket, describing her 15-minute showing as “perfect” in the early hours or Sunday morning.

“Lipski, coming off a nine-fight win streak, a world champion in another organization with tons of hype behind her, we put her in with a crafty, nasty veteran,” said White. “[Calderwood] came out and she looked awesome tonight… ‘Jojo’ looked incredible she fought the perfect fight.”

When asked if the Scot’s performance would be good enough to grant her a crack at Shevchenko’s flyweight crown, White revealed that, as far as he could recall, Eye would be the first person to challenge the newly crowned champion.

“I think we did,” White replied when asked if the UFC had decided who would face Shevchenko in her first flyweight title defense. “Off the top of my head we said we were going to do a fight with Jessica Eye. I think Eye is next… yeah.”

Fully expect a class action lawsuit to be filed against the NFL in the next 24 hours as a result of people claiming losses from bad call in Rams-Saints game. Don√Ę¬Ä¬ôt know how convincing the claims will be, but have no doubt they will be made.

Kenneth Faried is set to clear waivers at 5:00 pm EST today. If the Rockets want to sign him before tonight√Ę¬Ä¬ôs game, they√Ę¬Ä¬ôll need to first clear a roster spot. If they can√Ę¬Ä¬ôt find a Carmelo Anthony trade in that span of time, they√Ę¬Ä¬ôll just terminate James Nunnally√Ę¬Ä¬ôs 10-day contract.

He also said he would retire if the Browns drafted me. So does anything he say have truth to it? Couldn√Ę¬Ä¬ôt be more any more wrong. There is no comparison to even be made about Kyler. He√Ę¬Ä¬ôs a winner and if you don√Ę¬Ä¬ôt see that, something is wrong with you.

NFL Tom Brady's message for Patrick Mahomes after their AFC title duel

He wore a New England Patriots AFC championship T-shirt, a face that was still a bit burnt from the brutally cold wind and a smile of satisfaction that these epic victories – the latest, 37-31 in overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs – never cease to produce.

Brady was now free to find his family or his friends or his teammates. He was now free to revel in another triumph. He was now free to soak in a moment that he even wasn’t so sure was possible this season, with this team.

But first Brady wanted to find someone. So he asked officials to take him to the one person who might be most in need of a moment of his time, because he’d most certainly earned his full admiration.

He told them to take him to Patrick Mahomes.

“I just wanted to say hello,” Brady said. “I didn’t get to see him on the field.”

Shortly after doing the unthinkable yet again, Brady took some time to find Mahomes so he could share a special moment with a QB who is more than ready to be the future of the NFL.

Tom Brady just quietly approached a security guard waiting outside the Chiefs√Ę¬Ä¬ô locker room √Ę¬Ä¬Ē and asked if he could see Patrick Mahomes. Brady was escorted into a room where he spoke briefly with him. A very clear display of respect from one incredible quarterback to another.
